Since receiving the items I have had several charges on
the batteries, they have held up as well as the higher
price units. I would recommend these items.

Bought this for a hand-me-down Canon D60 and it's worked as advertised. Used it on 2 separate batteries fully charging each with zero problems. The added car charger was also a bonus.

I purchased the charger to charge the Camera battery on an old Canon G2 camera. I lost the original charger, but the camera still works perfectly. I decided to give this product a try and have been very pleased with its performance. I have used it several times without incident. It charges the battery fully and it about the same amount of time as the original charger. The construction doesn't feel very durable but so far it has performed perfectly. I always keep an eye on it when it is plugged in in case of malfunction.

It's hard to get terribly excited about a battery charger, so I'll keep this brief. It is significantly smaller than the original Canon charger that came with my first generation Digital Rebel, and it plugs directly into the wall, which saves space. The car charger is a nice bonus for some, but I'll probably never use it. Batteries are a little tough to snap into place, but the charger works as described. Price is unbelievably low -- it's worth the money just for a backup charger you can keep stashed in your bag.

As far as I can tell, the thing works like it's supposed to.
The only issue I've run into with it is making sure the battery
is securely seated in the forward position to make the charger
start the charging cycle. It's not a big deal if you are paying
attention, but it could sour a day if you just slap it in there,
expecting to have a charged battery for your shoot only to find
out it wasn't seated.

For the price though, you just can't complain. I'd recommend
this unit as a backup (which is why I purchased it) to the
Canon brand charger; keep it in your car or camera bag so you
always have a charger handy.

it is a good recharger with a very reasonable price. shipping is very fast. The charger is light and compact. I am completely happy with it now. I hope i could use it for long.

Smaller than I thought, very compact and easy to carry around, chargng time is short compare to charging with the camcorder. Bottom line a good product.

The charger and batteries were available at an excellent price,arrived promptly and perform as well as I had hoped.

It arrived quickly, It was more then I thought it would be for the price it even included the car adapter which I did not know it included. I will order batteries from them too.

Pro:
This little charger is a huge improvement over the Canon charger. I takes up less than a quarter of the space in my camera bag.
It has an indicator light for charging (red) and charged (green).
Inexpensive.
Car 12V connector - that I have not tried.

Con:
It lacks the Canon charger's charge state indicator (single, double, triple flashes or steady for 'full'). A minor loss.
